It's been a short while since we had Our big Giveaway and posted anything! Kim and I have both been hard at work. This time of year always seems to be busy for all of us! I have been working hard on a mini album in which I will be giving to my Mother-in-law for a holiday gift. I'm happy in how it turned out and think she will love it! Fair warning there are a lot of pictures!

There could be more as many of the photo mats flip open to reveal more photos or journaling spots! I just thought best to show the front of each page. Thanks for looking and Wishing you All a Happy and Safe Holiday!

For more detailed pictures check out my blog as I will go into detail on each page.

This is Dawn and I get to create the question for today! We have kinda strayed away from the Trivia which is not any heartache to me! So to keep the fun and laughter about I thought it would be fun to do a Trivia on Your Biggest Ah Ha moment! For me The biggest Ah Ha moment would be when I realized a hair dryer really is not a good idea when trying to emboss an image, object or anything for that matter. When I first started scrapbooking I thought I could get away without all the fancy tools as I thought they were at the time. I've done some funny things in my days like embossing using my stove or convectional toaster oven. But the best was my first attempt using my Hair dryer. It has no where near the temp required to emboss an image let alone prevent all the powder from blowing off and leaving me with a smudge of an image on my card or layout. I've since started using a REAL heat tool about 2 years ago. I've found great humor in my journey as a crafter so lets hear some of yours!

What was your greatest Ah Ha Moment!

It doesn't have to be all that great but just a moment when you realised cutting corners or a new method was not the best option. Sometimes it stands true if it ain't broke why fix it! But remember they are those same moments that brings all of us New Inspiration and Fun New techniques! So never stop because of a little Ah Ha only perfect it! Or at least I do!

Thanks for joining our fun and bringing us smiles...keep the comments coming and wish you the best of luck in our prize drawings!

Ok ladies....I just want to start this post off by saying this was by far the best day for me so far...you all made me laugh until I had to go potty...which in this case was a good thing...lol! We had 13 comments today however only 10 participants! After running 1-10 through Random.org...here are the results:

Congratulations Angelbrat! Shoot us an email at wwscrapdivas@gmail.com and we will ship out the wonderful prize above!

Woohoooooo! Only 2 more trivia questions and we will announce the winner of the Grand Prize Drawing on friday! Oh the suspense...who will win the Big Dawg Daddy Grand Prize? Stay tuned for the answer to that question!

This week has been so much fun for Dawn and I...we have had alot of giggles along the way...and thank goodness cause what would life be without laughter? We typically are a couple of goofballs so I thought today when researching for this question, I would pick a question that tickled me when I read it...lol! It may be just me but this question definately made me giggle! Here we go...

What's the best way to remove excess chalk on a project?

A. baby wipeB. rub itC. "Blow" it off!

I know it is simple, nothing to make you think so I think I will ask that instead of answering the question, which we all know the answer to...I will ask that you comment with a joke or something that you find funny! There is nothing better than making your friends smile!

Thanks for joining our fun and bringing us smiles...keep the comments coming and wish you the best of luck in our prize drawings!

So we have decided to join together and are beginning our start with the Wild West Scrap Divas Blog! We hope we can bring all of you as much inspiration as we do each other!

To celebrate our friendship, we are going to have a fun little daily trivia question with a prize leading up to a Grand Prize on December 11th. Why do you ask December 11th? Well we have a special Birthday that day, Dawn’s! Happy Birthday to Dawn, Happy Birthday to Dawn, Happy Birthday Dear Dawnnnnnnn, Happy Birthday to YOU! That means all of you have a chance to win a daily prize and also a Grand Prize! But what do you need to do to be entered in our prize drawings you ask?

We will draw a name randomly out of a hat for each day and announce the winner the following morning! Each day’s names will then be put into the BIG POT after verifying the following of the three blogs requested of course! On the morning of December 11th, we will draw the winner from the BIG POT for the Grand Prize! We have some great prizes to giveaway leading up to the biggie…so join us in our celebration and lets have some fun!
